I know we all love @kobebryant but these @gq pics had us all completely befuddled...
I’m 100% positive that I first saw the Kobe GQ pics on Niketalk and I remember the thread was fierce. Even his most blatant supporters couldn’t get behind these pics.
I’m not one who totally understands the fashion world so I remember thinking ‘man, if Kobe is willing to go out on a limb with these pics, clearly he knows something that I don’t.’ Nah, that’s not how it worked out. These were a bad decision back then and they didn’t age well, either.
Looking back on these pics now - in the age of social media and rappers who floss $400k beds (s/o @champagnepapi ) - theses pics aren’t even all that wild by today’s standards. At the time, though - the early 2000s - they were beyond shocking.
